Mad respect from a crew of cold-water Baltic Surfers in Poland. This wave looks heavy,tumultous and has a shifting peak/take-off. Hats off to the locals, aloha from Central Europe!
I used to surf this spot and Crons so much when I lived in Sonoma County prior to moving to Encinitas in 2001, and it's no joke super sketch. Cold, rips, sharky, and the locals don't put up with barns. Much respect and love for this place. I may be back someday to get a sesh in, but I may choose a smaller day haha!
If you live in Encinitas you might know a one time bay area surfer, he's in North County, Oceanside to be specific. He's surfs Cardiff Reef a lot. His name is Marcelo, I won't mention his last name here.
Calm down haters it's a short video inside a bay of a spot where the waves are breaking from every direction, check it out some waves are breaking literally 90 degrees from how others break, plus an insane current due to the placement of the spot and an inconsistent takeoff point. And yeah these are just normal people. But nice job all the professional surf watchers in the comments lmao. Watched a few WSL contests and think they understand how to surf heh
To your defense, unless anyone has ever surfed a heavy current and refracting waves, it’s a crap shoot on where to line up to and if you wanted to line up there, the current keeps you away. Bad placement will suck you out to sea.
@@nixl3518 the guy lost his foil and it got flushed through the lineup. Lucky no one got taken out. It was an extremely dangerous situation. Foilers shouldn't be anywhere near surfers for safety reasons and the locals there do not tolerate any crap.
SSF in the house! The bay area has the best surfing spots! From Mavericks to Linda Mar to Ocean Beach to The Jetty to Dunes Beach to The Golden Gate To Montara To Rockaway and to Santa Cruz out of the way way! PS Their is a secret spot inside the SF bay that breaks at very high tides with 2 sometimes 3 ft faces and endless lefts somewhere between San Mateo and Redwood City. The water is warm to and no their are no waves at Coyote Point.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've lived in Marin my whole life and am an open water swimmer who loves swimming in big waves, and I have never heard of big waves here! Thank you so much @NorCal Surfer
I'm not if NorCal Surfer took this video from someone else, but another clip shows the foil using a boat to get into the lineup. Apparently, he was a complete kook, lost his board, and the locals took it and destroyed it on the rocks.
With how much i see people talking about currents, the ones that are on long boards & learning seem have no trouble with it 🤔 definetly colder up north so yew to the rippers
That takes some big kahunas the size of coconuts to get out in water that cold and not to mention waters that harbors some of the biggest great whites on the planet. RESPECT.
Flopping hell yes id surf it. didnt know you could even surf under that bridge. iv only seen this bridge in films, when you are surfing at this break can you see Alcatraz Island? What a location to surf at, flopping ripa!!!!! Gday from Western Australia or Shamesville as we call it. Peace and Love ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of the Princeton Jetty in regards to refracting of waves. GGB has a nice left. Jetty a sweet right. Hats off to all out there earning stripes and cutting teeth.
A lot water always moving around there. Cold and sharky. A bit of a novelty spot and at the same time an excellent venue with the Fort, the bridge and Alcatraz to boot. Nice video.
Where the better waves were coming through, it looked like there were too many wash-through to maintain a decent position. You’d have have a LOT of cardio to successfully sit there.
I wouldn't surf this in a million years, I've only been surfing 15 months. My question is: how dangerous are the currents? Like, if you are out there and just get exhausted or maybe dislocate a shoulder, what happens to you? Do you get pulled out to the shipping channel and eventually pulled out to sea? Or does the rip eventually stop? And does that happen very often? I ask because, when it's a choppy day and the tide is going out, it often feels like I'm going to get sucked out to sea and it's kinda scary. This seems like my worst nightmare. Is it that bad? Or just a bit tougher than usual? And yes, I'm not even mentioning the cold, the rocks, the sharks or Godzilla. Those alone would make it a big pile of nope.
I seem to recall a much better wave up the bay from there which was even more sketchy and dominated by kneeboarders. At least that's how it was in the 90's.
@@NorCalSurfer I would think there'd be a little bit of push from those large ships. I imagine you've seen Ben Gravy surf those large ferrry boat's wakes up in Jersey. He was relatively close to those wakes so the distance that those waves at Golden Gate bridge might be able to gather a bit more momentum... idk. Just thinking aloud! 🏄♂️
When I used to surf here we used to all take off on top of or behind rhino. That's the rock that keeps popping up that no one is taking off from. Cool vid
its on the list of things i'd like to do one day. The super nasty ripe tides will make me stay away till I have some years of experience under my belt.
Thats no easy wave, that one... Couple riders there were chargin' and the were a couple if gentlemenly moments of giving way..... That's rare 😉 times are changing.
Not discrediting any guys surfing out there but I failed to see one person make the critical bowl section. It's a rather steep wave sort of like Newport in SoCal.
Thank you for watching! 🤙 Consider subscribing to watch more NorCal surfing!
New subscriber! Good vibes from Brazil 🤙👏

Very cool!
YOU GUYZ ROCK! I don't think people realize how sketchy this spot is. WELL Done!
Sharky?
💯
@@atm083 sharky / rippy / rocky reputedly
We do ;-) Been there windsurfing a few times and yeah it's a tricky one..
53 degree water, waves from every angle and still a crowd ... gotta appreciate these guys!
💯
Looks like a tough break. Really cool. I bet the Golden Gate looks huge when you're in the water.
I used to surf here by myself and be the only person out. Never, ever saw it this crowded before.
I absolutely would love surfing in such surprisingly unexpected place. Great waves!
You should!

Funnest dam wave ever !!
Insane current and shifty sets? They would be right at home around the corner at OB, if they could make it out!
Barn fest

More please. This is cinema gold. Like a silent comedy.
Such a cool break. Right under the Golden Gate Bridge, beautiful
Thanks for the comment! 🙏 Glad you like it
the boys looked like they were having a tough time getting in the right spot. except for zuckerberg on his flying surfboard at the end
That wasn't zuckerberg, he doesn't know how to surf.
@@kawikadee9670 bruh
I wonder if that's the same guy to got his shit beat down a few weeks ago. Seems they don't like foilers there.
@@TKM11370 Pretty shitty behavior, specially considering that foilers do not interfere with the others! This is what gives surfing a bad rap!

Much respect to the finless leashless softop 😂
Would love to meet the person who went out with that setup. Hilarious.
@Michael Kean I was giving whoever it was a virtual high five for being awesome. You missed the point I was trying to make.
@Michael Kean it’s called being smug
probably didnt have fins either
That's what I was going to say! I'm like, is that a Wavestorm alaia???
I didn't realize how sketchy those waves got. You've got waves heading in at every angle and then big outside sets. Mad respect.
Guy paddling for the wave at 3:08 ...lol
Looks like a hard wave to catch, gotta be a lot of current under the bridge there
Water under the bridge
@@foryou1324 the current (flow of water)
Hell wave storm shredding
The kooks were ripping. 😁
😂
Best wave finless wavestorm
😂🤙
Looks really cold... As a Hawaiian surfer, Ima pass on that, it looks very sharky and you guys are all in the line up wearing seal costumes...
😂
without those seal costumes we’d be dead from hypothermia anyway 😂😂
I love the dude with the wavestorm like slippin around

Much love from winter surfers in Veneto, Italy!!!
Gratzi!! Much love to you too 🤙
Many say it is sharky but when was the last verifiable shark attack at Fort Point?
I don't think ever really
Never...¡ 🤔
I've never even seen a shark there! 😉
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've lived in Marin my whole life and am an open water swimmer who loves swimming in big waves, and I have never heard of big waves here! Thank you so much @NorCal Surfer
That wavestorm guy is epic
😂
Wow, a Foil and SUP. How lucky for all these surfers to share such a tight lineup with a Foil and SUP. LOL.
You got that right!
I'm not if NorCal Surfer took this video from someone else, but another clip shows the foil using a boat to get into the lineup. Apparently, he was a complete kook, lost his board, and the locals took it and destroyed it on the rocks.
Great Waves & Great Whites!

Nobody able to catch those set waves?
I have seen that spot break previously, but not like it is depicted in this video. It looks like a fine surfing day in the city by the bay!
Indeed!
Looks cold. But wow!!
😎🤙
I thought I saw a dorsal fin. A really big one. Probably a reflection off of the water. Probably.
I surfed there in the mid 70's. They live and possibly die by the tide charts.
Actually reminds me of how South Garbage at Sunset Cliffs (SD) breaks when it's bigger.
Or indicators
Flopping hell yes id surf it. didnt know you could even surf under that bridge. iv only seen this bridge in films, when you are surfing at this break can you see Alcatraz Island? What a location to surf at, flopping ripa!!!!! Gday from Western Australia or Shamesville as we call it. Peace and Love ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love our Planet, how beautiful Spots it gives for Us
Huh wrong comment .....for this video....not the most naturall spot ?!

Totally agree

Couldn't agree more!
It's crazy knowing how many Great White Sharks swim around there too
True that. Takes a special type of surfer
@@NorCalSurfer yup, Nor Cal has those types lol
Wonder what the left up the point was doing this day…
I like that shot under the bridge👍👍
At least no one can figure out where this is - it’s home break of my youth.
Would cut school at Presidio and Washington day after storms .
Looks like you’re more likely to get hurt by a shoulder hopping kook than the rocks
Death from above!
Love it. Don't think I've ever seen Ft. Point spit like that before
Yeah, usually not too safe a ride, these so nice 🍺
Barney!
😂
Where the better waves were coming through, it looked like there were too many wash-through to maintain a decent position. You’d have have a LOT of cardio to successfully sit there.
Man it's just hilarious watching popular spots these days
I don't get it?
Why’s that
Because everyone's a huge kook
@Michael Kean are you not entertained?
@@damodaraomalley3974you probably haven't been surfing long
OK OK OK, everybody was screaming when they pulled up to take a look 🍺
Who'd a known the golden gate bridge takeoff was a slab.
this looks crazy! would love to try here on a smaller day. Does that happen? Is there a time where the currents are less... dangerous?
Entry and exit is a little sketch even when small. Currents can always be a factor
line up of barns
Even never surf this spot love this place cool vibes ;)
how often does this wave break? I'm guessing it needs very specific swells? would love to know :)
Needs to be pretty big
Love part-time casual wave spots
🤙😎
Freaky wave for a strange city. How come the dude on the finless WaveStorm got one of the better rides? The dude must know something...
That’s what I was thinking. Like he got towed in. Good eye.
gotta be a way to actually take off on the peek ,, seems the best waves go un ridden
Needs some super strong shoulders
And not one barrel was had that day. Does no one like to get pitted up North?
One off-the-lip, zero barrels made, and a handful of near collisions from shoulder hoppers. I'm good on that, haha.
Fair enough!
Barrel dodgers and shoulder hoppers. What happened to Ft Point?
😂

The currents can be very dangerous, especially when the tide goes out fast
And yes, essentially you'd be pulled out to sea
@@NorCalSurfer that's absolutely wild. Have there been any accidents or close encounters?
What was that ski boat doing out there tow in’s?!?
Nice lefts.
They are
Looks cold and peaky
I seem to recall a much better wave up the bay from there which was even more sketchy and dominated by kneeboarders. At least that's how it was in the 90's.
how cold could be the water at this time of the year at SF ?
About 54⁰
That barrel is pinching so much in the end but I think its doable, hardest bit is to be on the spot.
Nah just nobody knows how to ride a barrel
were some of those waves caused by wake from the large ships that went by in the background? or maybe made bigger by the wake form those ships?
I think it was a powerful winter swell (from Alaska) 🤙
@@NorCalSurfer I would think there'd be a little bit of push from those large ships. I imagine you've seen Ben Gravy surf those large ferrry boat's wakes up in Jersey. He was relatively close to those wakes so the distance that those waves at Golden Gate bridge might be able to gather a bit more momentum... idk. Just thinking aloud! 🏄♂️
I'm sure the big cargo ships' wake do effect the way the waves break
Always wanted to surf that wave . Kinda crowded and guys seemed to be out of rhythm
How peaceful, and great optics. Me personally I would be afraid of white sharks.
I'm from Huntington and that's one of my bucket list waves. Looks so fun and gotta love the novelty element too!
💯
How many cars were broken into to surf here? J/k My real question is no one in the outside barrel?
😅
Cold, dark and Sharkey...just the way I like it, from looks of the surfing there it's not that good very often 🧚
It isn't...
....but when it's good it's super fun
id have to pull out mi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills if i surfed out there
😂
awesome work bro, great vibes. at one time SF was my second home.
🙏
Super cool.
Can't even comprehend how hard it has to be with the currents that go under the bridge. If you have never been there you have no idea.
💯
One thing about FP , it is about 100 times gnarlier than it looks from shore.
The "drag you out the back"at outgoing tide is real.
No, it looks gnarled and scary just from this video ❄️🌊🦈
I bet 4 Mile was firing. Wonder if the sheriff was out
😂😂 this crazy sheriff is totally nuts haha 😵💫
@@ISSM87 Doesn't matter how one paddles out. "you need to get the fuck out of the bowl" - Sheriff
lol that's duane. he's loud but he's all bark. like the rest of the grumpy old shitheads at 4 mile.
why cut off the last ride? makes no sense.
Check out the whole wave (at least what I was able to get) here: th-cam.com/video/0yEpCtRwUuA/w-d-xo.html
So sick getting towed otb with a wake board boat off the tower lol. But str8 peaks out there it is going off
Reef,boulders or sand underneath?
Would you surf here?
I do surf there when OB is unruly. Always appreciate the local vids brother. Gracias.
Cheers to a solid season.

Is water clean or dirty
I surfed there once then got hepatitis that was the last time I surfed the oobleck
Man the waves were cooking. Was so hoping to see someone get slotted on a bomb. I'm sure it will happen soon enough
One of these days!
Wait let me drop in one you 🤣🤣🤣
Why does everyone expect it to wall up after their 2 sec face then cutback! Its not coming .
